Judge Starforth Hill

EDM number 2144 in 1992-93, proposed by Jean Corston on 10/06/1993.

That this House considers that rape and unlawful sexual intercourse are serious crimes warranting commensurate sentences; notes that in sentencing a man who had pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a child aged eight, Judge Ian Starforth Hill said he took into account the fact that 'this girl was not entirely an angel'; believes that such opinions and statements are entirely unacceptable in any person holding or aspiring to judicial office; and therefore calls on the Lord Chancellor to dismiss Judge Starforth Hill without delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
